Gruesome spectacles : botched executions and America's death penalty / by Sarat, Austin,author.(CARDINAL)136242; Blumstein, Katherine.; Jones, Aubrey.(CARDINAL)719587; Richard, Heather.; Sprung-Keyser, Madeline.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-257) and index.Publisher's description: Gruesome Spectacles is a history of botched, mismanaged, and painful executions in the U.S. from 1890 to 2010. Using new research, Sarat traces the evolution of methods of execution that were employed during this time, and were meant to improve on the methods that went before, from hanging or firing squad to electrocution to gas and lethal injection. Even though each of these technologies was developed to "perfect" state killing by decreasing the chance of a cruel death, an estimated three percent of all American executions went awry in one way or another. Sarat recounts the gripping and truly gruesome stories of some of these deaths - stories obscured by history and to some extent, the popular press.

Blind faith / by Lyons, CJ,1964-(CARDINAL)476148;
"Sarah Durandt knows the killer is dead. She watched him die from a lethal injection in the execution chamber. But Sarah finds little comfort in knowing that the deranged psychopath who murdered her husband and son will never kill again. Since he never revealed the location of their bodies, she never found a sense of closure. So now, Sarah has decided to return to her home in the Adirondacks...But what Sarah uncovers is far more unnerving--and much too horrifying--to even consider...Maybe they executed the wrong man. Maybe the killer is still out there"--P. [4] of cover.
